Hair loss torment is something that always existed and which gets people very anxious. Various reasons exist which can explain why hair loss occurs and why hair replacement surgery in clinics is needed. In fact individuals can suffer from different types of hair loss due to different reasons. Below is a list of what is in my opinion the most common reasons for hair loss.
1) Deficiency in Proteins and Iron
This is probably the most common reason. The bad side of this particular deficiency is that you start loosing hair quickly after your body has a deficiency. Therefore you cannot really prevent it unless you check regularly your protein and iron levels. Unfortunately, hair falling starts only when the body recognizes the deficiency. Generally this occurs around 3 months after the deficiency. The solution to this hair loss is to take proteins and iron in order to get back to a normal level.
2) Bad hair care
One of the main causes of hair loss is improper hair care. If you excessively take care of your hair and use a lot of brushing, braids, do ponytails this is not good for your hair. For example ponytails pull a lot on your hair which is not very good for them. Furthermore using too many shampoos or chemical products such as dyes can result in serious hair loss. So be careful!
3) Vitamin A Overdose
An overdose of vitamin A can occur and cause hair loss if you take vitamin supplements on your own without checking that the amount is correctly balanced for you. That is why it is important to always go and see a doctor when taking vitamins or minerals in order not to have an overdose. Do not eat vitamin supplements unless prescribed by the doctor. If you are having a diet, make sure with your doctor that is correctly balanced and will not cause an overdose.
4) Therapy against depression
When you have a depression, in most cases you have to follow a therapy where you will have to take medication. Taking this medication is essential for people with severe depression. The side effects of such medication and therapy can lead to heavy hair loss. Ask advice to your doctor about which medicines are the best.
5) Thyroid deregulation
If you have problems related to your thyroid you may notice some severe hair loss. If this happens go and see your doctor to get the most appropriate treatment.
6) Being Pregnant
After being pregnant it is frequent to see women lose hair generally three months after the baby birth. This is due to the fact that a women experiences high level of hormones during the pregnancy period. These hormones help keeping the hair intact, but unfortunately when the level of hormones comes back to a more standard level these hairs tend to fall before a normal hair growth cycle restarts.
7) Your level of DHT
If you have an excessive level of DHT you can have yet again some hair loss. This happens as DHT prevents nutrients to go to your hair, and as a consequence causes hair loss.
Certain Medications
Some medicines such as those used for arthritis or blood pressure for example can cause hair loss. If this happens go and see a doctor so that he can give you an appropriate treatment.
Many other reasons exist which can cause hair loss, but they are less frequent, so I will not talk about them. Whenever you have hair loss, always go and see your doctor so that he can give you the appropriate treatment for your hair!
